New Holland Construction added to its compact wheel loader (CWL) portfolio with three new C series models — the W60C, W70C and W80C LR. The new models are engineered to boost efficiency, productivity and comfort for operators and owners, according to the company.
“The development of these advanced CWL models was driven by our goal to enhance the operator and owner experience and the need to put more options with more versatility in their hands,” said Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. “What’s also evident with the three new models is how they provide exceptional stability, enabling operators to handle larger loads with ease, maneuver confidently in challenging conditions and enjoy smoother travel, even on rough terrain.”
Next generation of compact wheel loaders
The W60C shares the same frame as the W50C but with enhanced horsepower to elevate output. Notable upgrades to horsepower and the Z-Bar boom design tailor the W60C for applications such as landscaping, material handling, snow removal and more.
New Holland adds that customers can expect the W70C to tackle the same jobs as the W60C but with more horsepower, speed and performance. With a lighter operating weight of 12,000 lbs. and 74 horsepower and is ideal for a wide range of tasks and a variety of markets, including light construction, landscaping, contracting and municipalities, according to the company.
The W80C LR model is a high-speed option that employs a lift capacity of 10,600 lbs. and an operating weight of 13,000 lbs.
The W60C, W70C and W80C LR are each powered by a 4-cylinder, 3.4L FPT Industrial F5H engine and offer new features geared toward improved comfort and ease of operation. The exterior design of all three models is built to make the machines compatible with more than 250 attachments, including buckets, brooms, snow blowers, bale grabbers, skid steer and CTL attachments. Updates like a new cab with advanced climate control options and a fully sealed, pressurized cab to minimize noise and keep out dust help create a conducive work environment for the operator. Additionally, the W70C and W80C LR are capable of reaching speeds up to 25 mph.
New Holland FleetForce Telematics comes as a factory-fit addition on all the new models with a free five-year subscription. This allows fleet owners to gain insights into machine performance, fuel efficiency and ROI.
Other features include:
- Automated boom control: Allows operator to set return to dig, return to travel and height control from within the cab, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive loading operations.
- Creep functionality: Simplifies the use of creep mode, ideal for operations requiring low vehicle speeds and high hydraulic power, such as operating a snowblower.
- Cruise control: Enables setting a speed for long-distance travel and adjusting speeds on the joystick for added convenience.
- New smart mode: Improves fuel efficiency and reduces road noise during machine travel and operation.
- Auto ride control option: Ensures a comfortable ride on uneven, rough ground when moving material from stockpiles to trucks or around job sites, minimizing load spillage and wear and tear.
- Screen and panel: Incorporates a new 7-inch monitor and a multifunctional panel to streamline the operation of both new and existing features for improved ease of use.
